But how do you cope with the wmf files that have been renamed to jpg ?
By using a virus scanner which checks every file (regardless of
file extention or file association) when you ask to open it.
Christ! Associations do nothing for this problem. You do not have to
open a file to get hit. In rendering a web page from a browser, opening
and displaying such files is done intrinsically. At that point,
arbitrary code that has been placed within the file is allowed to run if
set up properly. No virus scanner works at this low a level.
Please stop minimizing this.
